Rex BSPT Threading Die Set, 1–2 Inch, HSS, Made in Japan - 16K230

Japanese HSS Threading Die Set – 1" to 2"

The REX 16K230 Threading Die Set is a premium, Japanese-manufactured industrial tool engineered for absolute precision in heavy-duty pipe connections. Crafted from highly durable High-Speed Steel (HSS), this set of four professional-grade die chasers outlasts standard alloy dies by providing superior heat resistance and edge retention. Specifically sized for 1" to 2" pipe diameters, these dies effortlessly cut through tough materials like stainless steel and heavy-walled carbon pipes. Built for seamless integration with REX N150A threading machines (using die heads 295649 or 292810), the set guarantees optimal mechanical stability during high-torque industrial applications.

Strictly following the British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) specification, the 16K230 produces a perfect 55° thread angle with an 11 TPI pitch to ensure flawlessly clean, leak-proof seals. Its optimized cutting geometry delivers a precise initial "bite" and highly efficient chip removal, significantly reducing physical strain on the machine and minimizing harmful vibrations. With a solid 27 mm width, this wear-resistant die set delivers the unwavering reliability required by modern plumbing, oil & gas operations, and heavy pipeline contractors.
